Missing dep for dbm python bindings
The dbm module is part of the python package. I commited a patch yesterday to change the code to anydbm. The original code uses dbm to create and anydbm to read the database. Although this should be working I consider it wrong to assume that a database created by dbm can be opened by anydbm. For me dbm creates a db-1 type database, which can be opened by anydbm using the bsddb185 module, but that module is not build with a normal python installation. And using anydbm doesn't require any additional dependency because python provides a slot-but-simple implementation in cache no db/gdbm is available.
Was unable to compile it until 0.4 which is now in portage. Not sure what fixed it, but it works now. Since the old version is no longer in portage, marking the bug as fixed.
